BCBS was initially founded by Zhibo (Lawrence) Yu and Li Li in 2003 under the name Broad International Business Forum (BIBF). These two individuals brought together a group of enthusiastic students who sought to inform and create channels upon which to expand knowledge of international business for students and professionals alike. In fall semester 2006 the group was transformed from BIBF into the Broad China Business Society under the direction of undergraduate David Gross. The change in the organization’s name and aim was a result of the following: The creation of the summer 2006 China Business Tour. BIBF's interest in the country of China.

The creation of the MSU India Information Technology Forum (MSU IITF): In retrospect, the change in BIBF’s name was also enacted to meet the demand for professional business organizations as a result of MSU’s dramatic increase in Chinese student enrollment and engagement with China. ​
